As the sun
rises over Tokyo, Megumi rushes to answer
a frantic knocking on the Oguni Clinic's door.
To her surprise, she sees Sanosuke, sweaty
and out of breath. Sanosuke raises his right
hand and tells Megumi that he needs it fixed
again. Despite being shouted at, Sanosuke
is treated and told what had happened while
he was gone on his so-called "business".
Yahiko wakes
up from his long rest just in time to pig
out with Sanosuke. Meanwhile, Kenshin remains
asleep. In his dreams, he is back in his old
spot at the Rakuninmura. Tomoe approaches
him out of the blue and asks if he is still
too tired to stand. Kenshin answers that he
is just resting, which somehow lights a smile
on Tomoe's face. It is learned that Tomoe
will smile as long as the person keeping her
memory inside of them smiles. Kenshin's vision
of Tomoe asks him to watch over Enishi, and
tells him something so shocking that it wakes
him from his sleep - the person wanting to
see his smile the most is waiting for him.
Yahiko, Sanosuke,
Megumi, and Tsubame head over to Kenshin's
room to see how he's doing. They are unsure
of how to break the news to him that Kaoru
is alive when he wakes up, but when the door
is opened, they are both shocked and glad
to see that their rurouni is back on his feet.
Kenshin looks completely revitalized. He apologizes
to everyone for making them worry and in his
old heroic tone of voice, asks to be led to
Kaoru.
